Bitcoin Advisory Podcast

Every market crash looks like chaos until you have a framework. This week handed us a perfect case study: gold, Bitcoin, and the AI stocks all fell together, and the one thing going up was the dollar, the very thing you hold gold and Bitcoin to escape. That looks like proof the hard-money trade failed. It's the opposite. In this episode I lay out six simple principles for reading any crash, us...

Your money is quietly losing value every year and last week made it official. Everyone called the latest Federal Reserve meeting a show of "discipline." Look closer and it was the opposite: a quiet admission that the people in charge of the dollar can no longer do the one thing that protects it. In this video I break down, in plain English, why prices keep climbing, why $39 trillion in d...

Bitcoin ETFs just bled $5.4 billion in four weeks, the worst stretch since they launched. The same week, inflation hit 4.2% and the national debt passed $39 trillion on its way to $40 trillion by September. The financial press says Bitcoin failed as an inflation hedge. I think they're grading the wrong exam. In this episode I break down who is actually selling Bitcoin and why, what long term h...

Lots happening in the market right now but in this episode, I try to bring signal to the noise. Tune in to find out more.

In this episode, I break down why Bitcoin behaves like a risk asset on short time frames but a store of value on long ones and why that's not a contradiction, it's the whole thesis playing out in real time.

There's a deadline coming on April 6 that is important to talk about. The US gave Iran an ultimatum and what happens next could send oil prices through the roof, force the Fed's hand on rate cuts, and completely reshape the macro case for Bitcoin. In this episode I walk through the full transmission chain: Strait of Hormuz → oil shock → inflation spike → Fed policy → Bitcoin. Hope you enjo...

Everyone calls Bitcoin a risk asset. It swings 10% in a day. It dropped 50% from its all time high. It goes in the same bucket as tech stocks and speculative bets. But what if the way we define risk is the actual problem? In this episode I break down what risk really means for people who are trying to save and build wealth over time, not trade on a Tuesday afternoon. I walk through the five core p...

Oil prices are surging. The Strait of Hormuz is effectively closed. The US is at war with Iran. And the Federal Reserve is trapped between a weakening job market and an inflation problem that's about to get worse. In this episode, I break down what's actually happening, why this oil shock is fundamentally different from 2022, and what history tells us about what comes next for your money. We look...

Bitcoin dropped from $68,000 to $60,000 in a single day. Everyone called it a crash. Almost nobody explained what actually caused it. In this episode I break down the leverage problem behind February's sell-off — what open interest is, how liquidation cascades work, why $46 billion in borrowed bets got wiped out, and why BlackRock's Robert Mitchnick is warning that Bitcoin trades like a &q...

Bitcoin hit $60,000 this week. The exact price everyone said they were waiting for. And most people didn't buy — they froze, or worse, they sold. In this episode, I break down the psychology behind why this happens every single cycle, what we can learn from investors like John Paulson and Warren Buffett, and the two things you need to have in place so you never freeze again. If you've ever...

Everyone is calling Kevin Warsh a Trump puppet. They're wrong—and they're missing the biggest monetary shift in 15 years. In this episode, I break down what the new Fed Chair nomination actually means, why the Treasury is secretly running the show, the $40 trillion math problem nobody can solve, and why Bitcoin wins whether they fix it or not. This isn't about politics. It's about...

Gold just broke $5,000 for the first time in history. Up 90% since Trump's inauguration. Central banks buying at record pace. Meanwhile, Bitcoin is flat. The gold bugs are taking a victory lap. And honestly? They've earned it. But in this video, I explain why gold's best year ever is actually the clearest signal yet that Bitcoin is the better long-term trade. We'll cover: Why gold...
